Rangers did have a no beard or moustache rule till the mid eighties when Souness came and there was no way he was shaving his off. Grieg actually had dispensation from the doctor as he had badly cut his chin open and shaving could re-open the wound.

 

I don't think the rule was anything specifically to do with Waddell.

Rangers were playing Hearts at Tynecastle the Saturday before Waddell took over on the Monday. Some of the players were remarkably hirsute about the visage at that time and Waddell sent a telegram to his old buddy Willie Thornton who was acting manager in terms: "No close shaves today. Just a clean cut win."

 

The whiskers were away for the next Saturday.

 

I'd forgotten about JG right enough.
